problem with software update and links PLEASE READ

[saqe]

hey and thanks for looking at my topic, i really need help becasue i really dont know what to do.

everytime to go to update software it quits and asks me if i want to send a report. it's been like then for weeks, an i tried various times.

i tried to download it from the site, but i have no idea how to install it sice i only been on mac for 1 month.

also, when i get a messege on my msn that i have an emal and click on it, appleworks opens. i have no idea what to do to fix it. and it does that on every link that is on my mac (example a link on a traning program cd)

any help at all would be appreciated.

Have you repaired permissions?

Application --> Utilities -->Disk Utility; select your hard drive and click repair permissions.

I am pretty new to Macs myself (and happy), so I cant really help, but if there is a apple store nearby you can go in and theyll help u.

Scroll down ... there should be a blue folder called "Utilities." Then just select "Disk Utility," and press the "Repair Permissions" button.

Let us know how it goes.

That's not what you need.

Are you the only user of the computer? It sounds like you might have a limited access account. :confused:

Good luck,
